CHARLESTON STILL AT 1T.

More About the Way Savarnah's
Cotton Receipts are Counted.
Savannah cotton men are much amused
at Charleston's kicking against the rules
OF the National Cotton Exchange in re-
gard 10 the manner Of counting receipts
at the various ports. Because Savannah
counted In its gross receipts $4,000 bales
that touched this port in shipment 70
Charleston, the Charleston Exchange
wants to reconstruct the entire system OF
counting receipts.
The matter was fully explained in the
MORNING NEWS two weeks ago, ana tue
report OF the Savannah EXCHANGE was
approved by the National Exchange, and
also by the New Orleans EXCHANGE.
Charleston objects to the way the count
Ing is done and wants a change. The
Secretary of the New Orleans Exchange
has written to Supt. Tavel, Of Charleston,
as fellows:
Experience has demonstrated that the oriy
way TO prevent ''doUbling" in reports Of re-
ceip,s is to keep q met and "gross" account.
ana count The cotton 81 net at the 1rst seS-
port which II touches, The 27,2S0 bales no y
IN question undOub e;lly went To Savannah
hrst and were thence shipped 70 Charie-ton.
and we are therefore undor the Eecesslty OF
dedueting the same from the Charleston to-
tai. | regret thar solution more favorable
to Charleston could not be arrived at. but see
no other way out Of the d fiiculty. The trade
demands chat the change be made. aud
trust that you VIII see yonr way clear to
adopt system in vogue at all porta, and
which alone gives general satisfaction.
The explanation was not sstis-
factory, and Supt. Tavel, who
does NOT seem TO understand the eitua-
ton, has written in reply that he regrets
that New Orleans deems it necessary to
deduct from Charleston $1,000 bales, OF
what be terms her just receipts, to add
to SaYannah's receipts, aud adds:
Those cottons were not consigned to Sayan-
nah, we're not owned in Savannah, were not
handled III Savannah, were not unioaded Ia
savannah, were not loaded in Savannah, were
turned over to the Atlantic Coast Line at
Jesup. not Savannah, for transmission TO
Charleston, not Savannah. The bills Of
lading read that they were received at
Interior Dolats to be delivered at Charles
ton; the way bills were made ont
for Charleston; the owners were in Charles.
In Charleston. and took the sea at Char es-
ton. ana only passed Savannah as they passed
any other way station or Junction. We rec
an easy solution OF the difficulty. When tho
Savannah Exchange gets her receipts from the
Savannah. Florida ana Western railroad let
her only get statement of her own receipts,
and feel sure that the accounts of the Sa-
Vannah Exchange are too well kent for this 10
lead her into error. We think it woGid, per-
hapS. be more just lOr the trade TO 'demand"
this than 10 ''demapd" that Savannah should
and we should not count our own receipts.
A prominent cotton man said last night
that II the Superintendent OF the Charles
ton Exchange will tSke pains to look
into the matter he cannot fail to see the
error that he has fallen into in supposing
that savannah is counting any cotton
that ought not to be counted here.
